3. Unfortunately, it is contagious.

I was hoping it would be confined to the US, but it has spread to other countries.
What am I talking about, you say?

The American newly found and highly valued (by some), hating on others, and turning rational thinking upside down. As modelled and approved of by Trump.

Kirk has been elevated to martyr hood and sainthood, despite being a purveyor of hate and destruction.
Flags at half mast, a state funeral.
Calling for revenge responses directed at the left, despite no evidence. Evidence to the contrary, in fact.
Ignoring the violent deaths of school children, Democratic party members.

The illness has spread to the UK and Australia, doubtless elsewhere too.
Street marches, with signs prompting to 'reclaim the country', 'immigration is out of control' etc.
Just thinly veiled white supremacist thinking.

The world is on a precipice. What comes next isn't going to be pretty.

Humanity, I cry for thee.
